ASCA: MCG-6-30-15 by NASA HEASARC

ID: asca-mcg-6-30-15-by-nasa-heasarc

The mission result description reports a broad asymmetric iron K-alpha profile with a low-energy wing relative to the approximately rest energy. It discusses gravitational redshift and the relativistic Doppler effect in a disk model. The page presents the original observational result and its interpretation, rather than establishing that every possible absorption or illumination model is excluded.
